Thankful…

I am thankful for the people in my life. 

My life is full of wonderful-fantastic people.  I am thankful to all of you for being who you are.  For the grace you give me by including me in your life.  Some I speak to everyday...the day is not complete without hearing your voice. Some are friends that are true and steady and though we do not speak everyday you are always with me in my thoughts.

I am thankful that my husband is healthy.  I am especially thankful he has been so cheerful lately <VBG> although I think I can attribute this to it being hunting season.  

I am thankful for my intelligent and beautiful daughter who has a generous-giving spirit. I am thankful my Father is alive with his always sharp mind.  I am very thankful to my dear sisters that have given so much of their lives to care for him and keep him comfortable.

I am thankful for the people in our dog family.  I truly believe you are the are the best in the world! Thank you for the love and care you give your dogs.  Thank you for being part of my family and allowing me to be part of yours.

I wish you all the best always,

Julie

Video

Forgot to put the video of ChopChop and Coke playing!! I used the "Hakuna Matata" song b/c it means no worries/no problems (yep, it's a real phrase! Disney's Lion King writers did not make it up!). When they play, they really have "no worries!" (besides the part where they tackle and bite each other, but hey, they both like it rough!!)

Rafe and Mack Report




Mac is John's reading assistant.  Right

now Mac is reading Kerouac and drinking beer.

Mac, in some ways couldn't be a better dog--and

we can say the same for Rafik.  They are totally

different, but they fit.

It took mathematicians to come up with this?


From Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty:

"MATHEMATICIANS LOOK FOR PATTERNS IN RUSSIAN HISTORY

The Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of

Sciences has hosted a conference to announce the creation of a new

academic discipline called mathematical modeling of historical

processes, "Nezavisimaya gazeta" reported on November 14. Institute

Deputy Director Georgy Malinetsky said the event was making

"mathematical history." Malinetsky said the goal of research in the

new field is to create analytical and prognostic models of social

phenomena. Conference participants predicted that a historical

catastrophe can be expected in Russia in the next decade; the country

has undergone significant catastrophes in the first two decades of

every century since the 1600s (the Time of Troubles in 1610-13, the

Great Northern War of 1708-09; the Napoleonic wars of 1812-14, and

World War I, 1914-17, and the Bolshevik revolution of 1917).

Conference participants also discussed the accelerating disintegration

of Russian models of statehood, noting that the Muscovite state lasted

600 years, the Romanov dynasty lasted 300 years, and the Soviet Union

lasted just 74 years. The mathematicians predicted that the current

phase of Russian statehood will not last longer than 30 years. RC"
